Using Remote Desktop to Connect to Hardware Node

Windows You can use Remote Desktop Connection - a standard Windows application - to connect to the Node by means of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). The feature is available only for Internet Explorer 5.0 or above. It is not supported by other browsers.

Note : If you are managing a Linux-based Hardware Node, please turn to the Using SSH to Connect to Hardware Node section to learn to manage the Hardware Node by means of Secure Shell.

The Remote Desktop window is opened upon clicking on the Remote Desktop icon on the Hardware Node toolbar or dashboard. You are presented with the Login button that you should click to open a Remote Desktop session. If you are doing this for the first time, your browser may display a window like this asking you to install additional components:

Infrastructure Manager - Installing Remote Desktop ActiveX Control

Click Yes in this window and wait for the Remote Desktop terminal window to appear, whereupon you will be presented with the Login and Password fields. After entering the necessary information ( Administrator or any other user name you might have created for this Hardware Node and this user's password) in the fields provided, click Enter to get connected to the Hardware Node and start sending commands to it via Remote Desktop.
